1.1 Measuring Battery Wear

• For an MSE (sealed stationary lead-acid battery),
when internal resistance reaches approximately
1.5 times its initial value, a warning will be
issued. Wear (failure) values vary by manufac-
turer.
• Initial values of internal resistance may vary
among batteries with the same capacity, depend-
ing on battery type or manufacturer. Refer to the
graph on the previous page.
• Internal-resistance warnings and failures vary by
manufacturer.
